SN74LVC32APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC32APW is a quadruple 2-input positive-OR gate from the LVC series, designed for operation between 1.65 V and 3.6 V. It features inputs tolerant to 5.5 V, enabling voltage translation in mixed systems. The device provides up to 24 mA output drive current at 3 V and achieves a maximum propagation delay of 3.8 ns at 3.3 V. It operates within temperature ranges of -40°C to +85°C or -40°C to +125°C. Packaged in a 14-pin TSSOP with dimensions of 5 mm by 6.4 mm, it includes ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and latch-up performance over 250 mA per JESD 17.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). Confirm the required operating temperature grade matches your design needs, as the SN74LVC32A family supports both commercial (-40°C to +85°C) and extended (-40°C to +125°C) ranges. Ensure input signals do not exceed the 5.5 V tolerance limit under any condition.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad OR gate is required for low-voltage digital logic applications. It is suitable for translating signals between 3.3 V and 5 V domains due to its 5.5 V tolerant inputs. Consider the TSSOP package constraints regarding thermal resistance and board space. Verify that the 24 mA drive current meets the load requirements of the connected circuitry.
